Holly Willoughby squeals as she sits on Phillip Schofield's KNEE in awkward live gaffe

HOLLY WILLOUGHBY and Phillip Schofield may be the best of friends, but they took their closeness to a whole new level on today's This Morning, as Holly accidentally sat on Phillip's knee in a hilarious live gaffe.

Holly, 35, was attempting to read the auto-cue and sit down on the sofa at the same time, but it was clearly too much for the presenter to handle so early in the morning as she ended up making her way onto her co-host's lap.

Not one to keep the mishap on the down low, Holly squealed and burst out laughing, as she attempted to explain what had happened.

Phillip quipped: "Let me tell you what happened there," as the pair both struggled to get their giggles under control.

Holly then insisted: "I knew the sofa was there," before she added: "I sat down on his lap!"

Holly was the first person to bring the sex tape up, but Phillip then went on to quiz the Bolton-born star on whether or not it was a family member that actually released the footage online; given the recent spat.

Holly and Phillip spoke to Amir Khan and his wife Faryal Makhdoom on today's This Morning

Amir explained: "It was something that happened a long, long time ago this was well before my marriage. All the good things I do, the charity work, it's upset me more than anything and it puts me in a difficult position. I was very young.

"I believe someone's done it out of revenge, I feel like someone's done it because of the family [feud]. Whoever did it probably thought this was the best time to do it."
